Klopp’s Revelation

Injury Clouds Nunez’s Participation

After Liverpool’s convincing 4-1 victory over Chelsea, manager Jurgen Klopp revealed concerns about Nunez’s fitness. Despite playing the full 90 minutes, Nunez left the stadium wearing a protective boot due to a painful foot injury sustained when someone stepped on him.

“I don’t know if Darwin is available or not because after 20 minutes somebody stepped on his foot, and it was very painful,” Klopp explained, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the striker’s participation.

Post-Match Evaluation

Protective Boot Raises Concerns

Klopp emphasized that Nunez only removed the boot post-game as he anticipated an issue. While X-rays ruled out fractures, swelling persists, raising questions about whether Nunez can resume wearing the protective boot.
